Society At The South

-Our Southern Stateshave, in eome respecta, the form of free govermnents: but in many parts of the country, it niay well be doubted, whether law is adhiinistered with more regularity or precisión Ihan it is under the jurisdiction of the Turkish Sultan. The transaction of business among the white population ehotvs that the bociety is but partially civilized. Read the following specimen of barbarism.which is but one among a thousand that are constantJy occurring. Such would be the condition of al the States of thïs Ünion, if slavery prevaüed in them. How different from the law-abiding habita of New Englanders! By the way these Georgians must be very trusty persous to sell goods to, when every fourth man and woman in the state cannot read or sign their namea to an obligation; and hot a few of them are disposed to cancel their debts by burriing their obJigations, and raobbing the sheriff. " Perry, (Ga.) May 9lk. - The times are becoming appalling - really alarming. We have just arrived from Sumpter superior court. lts first day's session was this week. We took all our plain virdicts, eotered up our judgmenta, attached the notes - put them back in the Clerk'B office that night. Some friem1 .., was not asXiáinud w uut 6oiije six or éig-ht mast have been concerned, entered the court house, carried off the clerk's desk, in which was contained every paper, docker, record book, Sic., pertaining to the office, and consumed the whole by fire. There was nothing left except a few cases the members of the bar happened to have in their hats and pocets. We lost every case but two, where judgement had been laken. Notes are gone, aiso. No traceB are left behind . The next day being Sheriff sale's day - and a great denl of property advertised, the court proceeded on ■with Buch cases as the bar had out, until sale hoor arrived, when it suspended for the sales; and as soon as the deputy sheriff commenced, he waa irlstantly seized by three ruffians and carried off to an adjacent swamp. The judge iepaired to the court room, made an address to the populace, commanded the principal Bheriff to Bumrhon the posse and pursue, bring back the deputy and'the men who carried him off. The shnriff led the way. commandiriff the crowd, of at least 250, to follow and aid him. The crowd went out, dispersed over the town, and not half a dozen would go. - The sheriff and three or four approached near the place where the outlaws were. and a fellow carne out with a doublé barreled gun, and told the sheriff there were 25 or 30 men in the Bwamp, well armed: íhat he miht advance, if he did he wou'd do it at hisperil - that fifty millions of armed men could not capture tlie outlaws. The sheriff had no arms & could get none, to put into the hands of the friends of the law. We tremble for the country, for the perpetuity of the government. Mobocracy stalks abroad in noon day sun, with irapunity, and without a blush. God save the , country and destroy the spirit of mobism."
